Summary
In a place called Nextdoor—the
farthest flung outpost of British imperialism—earthborn
mortals possess the power of gods. Young Englishman Edward
Exeter has spent five years trying to escape the magnetic and
powerfully magical pull of The Great Game which has designated
him as its most important player. But war and bloodthirsty
intrigues rage on both sides of magical portals and across
worlds and Exeter can resist his destiny no longer. He accepts
the mantle of Liberator that has been thrust upon him and the
decision turns old friends into foes and old enemies into
acolytes as he is surrounded by murderous plots and betrayals
But this is not the uninformed Edward Exeter who came naked
into this hidden realm years ago. He has lived the Game and
learned it well—and he intends to play it boldly to its
shocking, worlds-shattering conclusion.
